I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Kia South Vancouver. After spending close to $50,000 on a pre-owned Carnival on Sunday, I discovered a missing sunshade. While my sales rep tried to help South Vancouver. After spending close to $50,000 on a pre-owned Carnival on Sunday, I discovered a missing sunshade. While my sales rep tried to help, the overall lack of response from the general sales manager is unacceptable. This shows a severe lack of care for customers after the sale is finalized, and has tarnished my view of the Kia brand. If you're considering buying here, be prepared for the possibility of being ignored the moment you drive off the lot." More
In August 2022, I paid a $1000 deposit to Kia Vancouver for a 2023 Kia Niro EV and my name was put on a waiting list. The salesman said he could not give me a final price until Kia Canada published the 20 for a 2023 Kia Niro EV and my name was put on a waiting list. The salesman said he could not give me a final price until Kia Canada published the 2023 MSRP. Fair enough. I then asked for a formula that the dealership would use to calculate my bottom-line price upon delivery in spring 2023. The Assistant Sales Manager sent me an email stating, "my manager has agreed to do the deal on the 2023 Kia Niro EV-EX with MSRP plus tax and apply eligible government rebate." On June 2nd, I visited Kia Vancouver and met with the original salesman to discuss the final price. On a worksheet, he wrote the MSRP of $46 945 and I was then shocked to see him add a $6500 dealer markup, an $899 documentation fee, a $25 tire levy, and $695 for "prep". I showed him the Assistant Manager's email and reminded him of the written promise to calculate my final price on MSRP plus taxes minus rebates. He said he could not honour that promise because of inventory differences. He added that if I was willing to wait for one to two years longer for the car, he would not have to charge the extra $6500. I said none of that made sense, so he called the Sales Manager who stated that he would not honour his promise because of cost increases. On June 29th, I went to the dealership to make final payment and pick up the car. I complained to the financial officer about the extra charges and broken promises and she called the General Sales Manager. He said that if he sold cars at the MSRP plus taxes he "would have to close the business." He then offered to refund my deposit. However, my 20 year old Honda needed to be replaced immediately so I went ahead with the vehicle purchase. I ended up paying a "total sales price" before taxes of $55 064. Interesting, that price is almost equal to the $9000 in government rebates that should have been deducted from the MSRP. A cynical person might think that what Kia Vancouver does is add unrealistic and arbitrary charges on top of the MSRP in order to take the government rebates as additional profit. Before you deal with Kia Vancouver, I suggest you check the Better Business Bureau website. You will find that this business is not a member, and has only an A- rating. Moreover, you will see that I am not the first person to complain about lies and broken promises. Beware! Reputable dealers are truthful and keep pricing promises regardless of changes in the market.

Do not come to dealership for KIA vehicle purchase. Unprofessional and rude manager named Marco Almidani. I went to the dealership to finalize the purchase at 830am as thats when the dealership opens.T Unprofessional and rude manager named Marco Almidani. I went to the dealership to finalize the purchase at 830am as thats when the dealership opens.The sales manager Marco Almidani accused me of being rude for interrupting his meeting where he was berating and schooling his employees when i asked him when i could get the car purchase going at around 8:50. He then threatened to cancel my car purchase agreement multiple times and even took a 1000 dollar deposit slip from the file and flash it in front of me. When you go to this dealership, make sure to start your audio recording like i did. UPDATE: Soon after I left the dealership, Marco Almidani called my cell with no caller ID and stated he would sue me for recording conversation with them. DON'T BE INTIMINATED. You have the right to record the conversation that you were part of without the other party's consent. Don't be intiminated by his thug-like behaviour. More
Second bad review on another location of Kia and their. process. Google needs to come out with a minus starts option I talked to a salesman named Rez at the dealership as he has the car i have been w process. Google needs to come out with a minus starts option I talked to a salesman named Rez at the dealership as he has the car i have been waiting for for over a year and a half so he tells me to come in and put a deposit so its mine. He asks me when i can come in so I say 3pm. I was a few mins late so i let him know and he is like no rush at all.... Not to mention the drive is about 45 mins away. I get there 5 mins after 3pm and he sits me down with a constant smile saying bad news... We sold the car... I was pretty annoyed and told him why don't u tell us this before and why do u waste people's time and get their hopes up!!?? The jerk of a GM Marco (picture attached) had the xxxxx to say to me... how did we waste your time!!???! then asks me why are u so disappointed!!?? as in its my fault!!! This is the second time Kia has done this to us. All these slime ball car salesmen are all the same... Show some decent service to customers... At least call one person, then the other.. not all at once and whoever gets there first... Where do these guys come up with their process!?!?! No apology, no nothing... just smiles and sorry but not sorry... AVOID this dealership Bunch of wankers More
